Purpose of Study

-

    The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way the world does many things, and education has not been spared. Before the pandemic, technology was a tool that educators used to enhance learning in any subject area. During the pandemic, technology was no longer a strategy that educators used to improve learning, it became the core of education itself. Educators had to shift to technology- centered education. The full inclusion of technology into education during COVID changed the way how teachers and students gathered, accessed, analyzed, presented and transmitted information. 

    For me, the pandemic has forever changed my mindset of the importance of technology being integrated in my classroom. Being stuck in the online modality, challenged me, took me out of my comfort zone and allowed me the chance to find more interactive and engaging ways of capturing the attention of my students. This blog has been created to discuss Software and evaluate this software by using an appropriate evaluation rubric.

    Absolutely, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the integration of technology into education, transforming traditional methods and reshaping the learning experience. With the closure of schools due to lockdowns and social distancing measures, there was a rapid shift to online learning platforms. Virtual classrooms, and video conferencing tools became essential for instruction. Educators and students relied heavily on digital communication tools for collaboration and interaction. Video conferencing, messaging apps, and collaboration platforms facilitated communication among teachers, students, and parents. Traditional textbooks and printed materials were replaced, at least temporarily, by digital resources.
